Christina Applegate was born November 25, 1971 in Los Angeles, California USA.She was born to Nancy Priddy a former Actress/Singer and her Father is Robert Applegate a former Recording Company Executive. However her parents divorced when she was very young. Christina has a step sister, Alisa, who is her best friend and a step brother Kyle.

She made her first onscreen appearance at the age of 5, alongside her mother on Days of Our Lives, since her mother brought her along to work and auditions.

At Seven years old she began by performing in a school play. A movie critic noticed her and encouraged her parents to get her an agent, and they soon did. As it turns out, it's a good thing that agent found her. She says that if she hadn't gone into acting, she would have been a runaway on Hollywood Boulevard. Or maybe even dead.

One year later, Christina was signed on to perform in "Mermaids" with Cher and Winona Ryder. The role of Wednesday in The Addams Family would follow, and finally Casper, the film that established her as a child star. The film was downplayed by critics, but alas, embraced by audiences.

Christina stepped up and made a name for herself completely separate of her kid roles. The Ice Storm, Ang Lee's powerful 70s drama, was the film that saw Christina grow up. She displayed her amazing ability in the critically acclaimed role of Wendy. But, before critics could write her out, Christina popped out three huge indie successes that dropped her on the list of 'A-List Hollywood Actresses': Pecker, The Opposite of Sex, and Buffalo '66. The Opposite of Sex received the most praise, as it was also Lisa Kudrow's (Friends) turn to step out and prove herself. At the age of fifteen, Christina landed her best known role as Kelly Bundy in the successful sitcom ''Married... With Children''. This role brought Christina the attention of not only the American public but also the international community. There is no doubt the role of ''Kelly Bundy'' has been a Godsend to Christina, but like many artists, Christina still struggles with her attachment to her most popularized role. The most incredible part of her carreer are the roles she never got to play. She was been turned down for roles in Jurassic Park, Little Women, Titanic (as Rose), Lolita (as Lolita), Batman & Robin, and Romeo + Juliet (as Juliet). If she had gotten even one of these major roles, she might be an even bigger star today.
